Models and Composition - Stochastic and Spectral Music
Participants will learn the technical foundations—through a hands-on composition activity—enabling them to formalize their musical ideas with the assistance of two classes of models—stochastic or random—and acoustic models used in spectral music.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of music theory, participants must be able to notes and rhythms. Mastery of Macintosh computers (OS X). Successful completion of the course OpenMusic Introduction or of the OpenMusic tutorials through number 18 (fully understanding the contents).
Objectives
Provide participants with the conceptual and technical foundation necessary in computer-assisted composition for use in writing.
